Another NOOB question

This is a really cool game. Thanks to everyone in the league.

I saw the draft class and immediately wondered if the players ratings will change between now and draft day?

Really small amount is possible but not likely. I've seen a few players change 1 or 2 points from beginning till training camp. Training camp is when they usually show which way they are changing.

Wow really, that kinda sucks. It would be cool if players stock rises or falls.

Make a suggestion in the suggestion box. That's not a bad idea.

I think it is about right. You don't really have much in the way of new info until camp starts.

I think the draft needs to be more exciting! Lol I felt rather let down when I saw this class. If we're not gonna have things like the Combine, OTA's, Mini-Camps etc, then at least the guys in the draft should be worth making moves for.

All players graded in the second round should have upsides in the 70's in my opinion. That's 64 players deep, this class has only 42 (not including kickers/punters).

What should be more difficult is helping those players reach that potential. Which places more emphasis on your own coaching staff.

That's my 2 cents anyway. I've heard that we'll be getting improved draft classes in the future, so I look forward to that.

I think you're probably looking at the initial numbers in the wrong way, though. The future #s change, so a little of those 1st rounders drop below their projected rating, some of the 2s drop or raise a lot, 3rd and 4th rounders can skyrocket or tank as well. In all reality, you can get superstars in the 3rd, but they'll take some time to develop. Those 3rd and 4th rounders, if they aren't busts, could very well become just as good as those 1s and 2s; some just as fast, most a lot slower. The face value =/= real value. I have a RB in MFN15 that has gone up +4/+6 before game week 1 to 36/72 and he was the 19th selection of the 3rd round. He didn't look like he would be much, but in all actuality he will probably keep growing up until maybe the 80-90 range until he hits his cap.

The other nice thing about those 3rd and even more the 4th and beyond is, it is easy to cut them if they are a bust. 1st rounders you almost have to keep. Otherwise the cap hit will kill you.
